Movies and TvShows featuring "monica-vitti" theme.

Before they met, they had not found success in the film industry. Michelangelo Antonioni did not direct Italian comedies. Monica Vitti did not have the looks of a Sophia Loren or a Gina Lollobrigida. United in life and on screen, they would become the creators of L'Avventura, La Notte, and L'Eclisse. Three legendary films, three declarations of love.

Inspired by a famous exchange of letters between Michelangelo Antonioni and Mark Rothko, Esterno giorno is an experimental love letter to Italian cinema. Embarking on an intimate journey in the footsteps of Monica Vitti’s characters, the filmmaker poetically intertwines contemporary footage shot across Italy and the Jordanian desert with excerpts from Antonioni’s films, creating an illusion of continuity between past and present.
